Why it works▾
The best prioritization framework is the one your team actually uses on Monday morning. ICE wins by being unignorably simple.
When to use▾
Weekly experiment planning where you have more ideas than you can run.
Steps in detail▾
01
Impact (1-10)
If it works, how big is the win? Score against your north star, not vanity metrics.
02
Confidence (1-10)
How sure are you it'll work? Prior evidence, precedent, gut. Be honest — inflated confidence is the #1 ICE failure mode.
03
Ease (1-10)
Effort to run it, not to build it forever. A quick landing page test is a 9. A rebuild is a 2.
Pitfalls▾
- 01Averaging instead of multiplying — score = I × C × E.
- 02Letting the highest-paid person's opinion inflate confidence.
